I Do Not Own Inuyasha
Chapter 43
"Sesshomaru-sama?" the four year old called his name as she sat atop his shoulders while he carried her to the baseball game.
"Hn?" he acknowledged her.
"Me, you and Maru will always be best friends, right?" she questioned him and he tilted his head back to look up at his small passenger. Her dark eyes were very serious as she looked down to him.
"Why ask such a foolish question?" Sesshomaru asked her coldly.
"'Cause Inuyasha said you do like anyone; me included," Rin explained and he just felt his breath hitch as his eyes narrowed up to the four year old he was carrying around.
"Do not ask such foolish questions Rin, you and I will always be friends," he assured her though there was a bit of him which worried about her growing up and finding new friends. Children her own age to be friends with and then he would lose her wild stories, her funny songs, and her crazy antics. Kami knew he loved this little human pup, far more than what he thought was normal but somewhere in the depths of his heart he couldn't find it in him to care about how much he loved her. Rin was his, and being his; despite their age gap; meant she was his for forever. This child truly had no idea what she had done to him as he carried her to their seats in the bleachers so they could watch the baseball game. A game which he was teaching her with vigor; the most important sport in life was baseball and young Rin would learn this.
The young girl crawled onto his lap as they cheered on his favorite team and hugged Maru to her. Why she needed that ratty stuffed dog he didn't know but she carried it with her everywhere. They made it through the game, and she didn't have those annoying temper tantrums human pups were age seemed to suffer from as he carried her out of the baseball stadium, Rin was grinned.
"That was fun!" she declared as she sat atop his shoulders and she had Maru riding atop his head.
"Hn," he answered with a slight smirk on his lips.
"Best friends forever, right Sesshomaru!?" Rin asked him again.
"Yes Rin, you and I are best friends for forever," he assured his girl. She gave him a happy grin as she sat there and then she hugged his head.
"Love you Sesshomaru-sama, Rin loves you very much!" she informed him happily and he wouldn't deny that his twelve year old heart warmed with the news that he was loved, it felt good to be loved, and he didn't think he had ever been really loved until this little human girl had come into his life filled with laughter and joy.
"Hn," he answered her and she giggled as he bounced her sliding body back up onto his shoulders so she didn't fall off of him.
"I'll love you forever Sesshomaru," she yawned as they walked home.
